Colbert: 'I Am America'

Oct. 9, 2007 — -- Comedian and faux conservative commentator Stephen Colbert has sustained a legion of fans thanks to his unique political interpretations.

On his hit Comedy Central show, "The Colbert Report," he often uses sarcasm to poke fun at Republicans and Democrats.

Viewers know he doesn't read and would much rather go with his gut when making decisions. An avid patriot, Colbert aims to inform Americans by outwardly taunting them with his misinformation. It's formula that's ignited his career from his "Daily Show" beginnings to his new book, "I Am America (and So Can You!)"

Check out an excerpt of the book, with Colbert's signature style.

I AM NO FAN OF BOOKS. AND CHANCES ARE, IF YOU'RE READING THIS, YOU AND I SHARE A HEALTHY SKEPTICISM ABOUT THE PRINTED WORD. WELL, I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THIS IS THE FIRST BOOK I'VE EVER WRITTEN, AND I HOPE IT'S THE FIRST BOOK YOU'VE EVER READ. DON'T MAKE A HABIT OF IT.
